The Community Foundation of Henderson County will celebrate "home" on March 4 when it holds its annual Vintage Carolina event.

Vintage Carolina 2013 will have a "Wizard of Oz" feel, with the central theme being "There's No Place like Home." The event will include a food and beverage tasting. There will be 20 different vendors at the fundraiser. It's "a cross between a fundraiser and friendraiser," Foundation Relations Manager Lee Henderson-Hill said.

"With the caring and compassion that is shown in abundance by our donors, all of our community needs are met," Henderson-Hill said. "That's why we went with the theme ‘there's no place like home.' "

The fundraiser is in its eighth year. Food and beverage vendors are lined up to provide tastings. People who purchase the $100 tickets will be able to eat and drink as much as they want, and $75 of each ticket is tax deductible.

There will be 20 different restaurants, sweets vendors and beer/wine vendors at the event. For a complete listing, visit www.cfhcforever.org.

The event will be spread out over four rooms which will symbolize courage, heart, home and wisdom from "Wizard of Oz," Henderson-Hill said. The rooms will be decorated according to the themes and will show what the foundation is able to do in the community.

The event is open to the public. To RSVP, call 828-697-6224 or email RSVP@cfhcforever.org.

"We love to have returning guests, but always look forward to meeting new people who share the same passions as our donors," Henderson-Hill said. "The Community Foundation of Henderson County is all about helping people who care make lasting contributions to causes that matter."
